First Source Federal Credit Union recognizes that a key concern of our Members is the use of their information once it has been collected and the original transaction completed. Our Credit Union's Privacy Notice is located here.

We do not knowingly market to or solicit information from children under 13 without parental consent.

Our Credit Union uses the information only to the extent necessary to carry out our daily business activities and to provide services and other opportunities of interest to our Members.

Looking Out for Children

We do not knowingly market to or solicit information from children under 13 without parental consent. We recognize that protecting children's identities and privacy online is important, and that the responsibility to do so rests with both the online industry and with parents. While First Source works to protect your personal information, you also have responsibility.

  • Internet safety for children. The Internet is a public network. Children's access to the Internet can allow them to visit inappropriate websites and be exposed to unwanted risks. COPPA, the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act, protects children under the age of 13 from the online collection of personal information. Learn more about COPPA on the Federal Trade Commission's website. Parents can be proactive by installing filtering software that gives them more control over their family's Internet experience.

We recommend that minors ask their parents for permission before sending any information about themselves to anyone over the Internet.
